Subject: [RFC PATCH] iproute2: Add extended info mask to ifinfo dump requests
Creates a new nlattr type IFLA_EXT_MASK which sends a u32 bit mask
along with the ifinfo dump request. This mask can be used to filter
on types of extended interface information such as VFs.
Tested on 2.6.39 and 3.0.3 kernels to check for backward compatibility.
